The dude was drinking a beer in a public park! GASP!

This is the same as reporting an off duty officer getting a speeding ticket or having an expired registration. Its just a misdemeanor.

[Nateman]

Isn't it wonderful we have so many busybodies who strive to keep us safe!

[ChuckShick]

Sheriff Manfre has counseled his personnel concerning appropriate off-duty behavior.

Next, we'll find out that he was also picking his nose.

Meanwhile, Flagler County is expanding its program of using hidden cameras to nab drivers running red lights.

[Always Right]

A beer after a softball game. This is series.

[MarineDad]

Wonder if they noticed the "Middle-Eastern" types videotaping the nuclear power plant adjacent to the fairgrounds.

Nope, probably not.

[Tamzee]

At this time we are concerned about the mental well-being of this person in our county who is apparently trying to secretly videotape activities at the county recreational areas

Ouch... that's gonna leave a mark.

[Ken H]

I bet it's a personal spat between the deputy and someone such as an ex-girlfriend, ex-wife etc.

[goldstategop]

I'm shocked! He wasn't a Rosco Coltrane in cahoots with Boss Hogg. A cop drinking beer off-duty in a park? Oh gee, I wonder what the penalty would have been if he smoked a cigarette there...

[Bahbah]

I never have my beers videotaped. They never do anything interesting.

America has gone MADD (read Prohibition II), and I imagine their leaders are getting soused somewhere, toasting their own success.

Oh, give me a break. If that off duty chief deputy had been secretly videotaped smoking a joint at the county recreational area you wouldn't be saying that!
Just another anonymous tip from a good Citizen doing their part "for the good of the children" and the good deputy would be out on his backside in a heartbeat...

[Puddleglum]

CITIZEN'S ARREST! CITIZEN'S ARREST! (a classic Mayberry moment)

[steplock]

My God! A free man having a beer on his own time is the subjects of a massive hate and destruction campaign.

Second Amendment time people BEFORE we lose it all!

[tdadams]

Wonder what this videotaper would think of Oktoberfest!

[HEY4QDEMS]

Little brother is watching too.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Has the mindset of this entire nation devolved into narc-ness?

[yarddog]

Well I am going to go on a bit of a rant here.

I can remember trying to enjoy a picnic at a park with my wife and baby and being unable to because of scum of the earth types who think they are entitled to get drunk, scream at the top of their lungs and generally make a nuisance of themselves.

It appears to me that FR is full of these jerks who think anyone who wants to be free from alchohol in public places is some kind of weirdo.

There are good reasons why these parks do not allow alcohol. It is the law and this guy was flaunting it because he is too damned sorry to obey the rules. Probably thinks he can do whatever he wants because he is a cop.

As a matter of fact if this guy was simply drinking a beer and not bothering anyone, I would have just let it go. He did get in his vehicle and drive away tho.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

One beer in ninety minutes.

The humanity!
